Blogroman

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A blogroman is a text from a novel published on the Internet in the form of a blog . The individual passages of the novel are published one after the other as successive blog posts. The use of the term novel does not imply that a book (i.e. a text with a binding, permanent version) is in the process of being created. The printout of a series of individual blog posts in book form is more the exception than the rule in blog novels.

Depending on the intention and the interactive involvement of the audience in the creation process of the text, readers can comment on the respective text sequences or directly influence the progression and content of the novel through their suggestions and wishes.

The blogroman projects Sechzig Grad by Karen Liller and Wrangelstrasse by Sebastian Kraus, which were created around the same time in the German-speaking countries , as well as The Papers of the PentAgrion by Jules van der Ley and that with it , can be cited as examples of the different design options for this interactive space between author and reader Associated "non-fiction book" The PentAgrion files and Alban Nikolai Herbst's blogroman The Windows of Sainte-Chapelle .

While Liller actively involves her readers in his own writing process in the context of a novel blog that is being created parallel to the blogroman, asks for advice on open questions or problems or lets vote on the naming of a new character in a novel, the participation of the readers is at Kraus initially limited to the possibility of commenting on the text of the novel. For this purpose, the author integrates the comments and reader voices received in his own text sequences and in fictional alienation directly into the context of the novel. Herbst's blogroman, on the other hand, was created during a short stay in Paris and was published at the same time in his literary blog and commented on by readers. During the publication of the individual parts, a lively poetological discussion developed in which the author also took part. From a literary theoretical perspective, this raises the question of a changed authorship in blog novels. On the one hand, due to the co-production of the readers, the authorship can no longer be clearly assigned to an individual author; on the other hand, due to the direct interaction between author and reader, blogr novels have a performative character that was previously untypical for forms of literary communication.

As a literary text that is created on the World Wide Web , the blogroman can be assigned to the field of online literature from a literary perspective . This is followed by the question of the influence of the media dispositive on text genesis and text reception. In order to examine the media influence on text production and reception, blogr novels can be conceived as a communicative literary genre.

In terms of literary history, the publication of the text of the novel in sequentials can also be viewed as a contemporary link to the literary tradition of the sequel or as its expansion and paraphrase.

Occasionally, postings are summarized in blogs and sold as printed works. This applies e.g. B. on books by Ms. Freitag , author of the blog “Where does the shoe pinch?”, Two of which even became bestsellers in print media (first place in the “ Spiegel ” bestseller list for the first two paperbacks in 2011 and 2012) were. Other postings are prepared for the print version in such a way that a mixture of blog entries and comments by a novelist is created.
